    Hello, I am running Windows 10 Pro on Parallels 15 hosted on a MacBook Pro 2018 model running macOS Big Sur.

    I noticed that my Parallels is my top data hog in my Mac Activity Monitor. This is strange since I almost never do anything online with my Parallels side. Basically just use it to run a couple local programs that I can't get on Mac.

    I went over to Parallels and checked my last 30 days of usage in Windows Network and Internet Settings. It shows I've used 8.13 GB in then last thirty days, and 8.09 GB of that is from what Windows calls "IOCP". That's it. I have no idea what this connection is? It's not clickable, it's just a line item showing the data usage. I will post a screenshot.

    The only other think I can think of would be my OneDrive account which does sync on my Parallels side, but It's not a heavy use thing. Certainly I have uploaded 8.09 GB worth of data to my OneDrive account in the last 30 days.

    Anyone have any idea what this could be?

    Thanks!
